Abstract

This chapter discusses the development of teachers’ transformative digital agency during an invention-pedagogy-themed, in-service training course. The course was a blended learning experience that included the planning, implementation, and evaluation of an invention pedagogy project. This chapter defines teachers’ transformative digital agency and depicts its development from four perspectives: technological and invention pedagogical awareness, technological competence, implemented adaptive practice, and teachers as reflective practitioners. The discussion is adhered to the broader context of the digitalizing society and objectives for teachers’ continuous professional learning. The epistemic knowledge of digitalization is one of the key factors that enable the development of teachers’ transformative digital agency while at the same time serving as a cornerstone of running invention pedagogy projects.
